Stadio Della Roma, An Expensive Delay

Roma’s president James Pallotta spoke about the new stadium that should provide Roma with immense benefits.

Five years after the presentation of the Stadio della Roma project, the Italian institutions are still analyzing the documents. This is the sad reality of a facility that could change the economic and social aspects of a team and a city.

Once again, James Pallotta has warned those who will have to decide on the feasibility of this masterpiece that this delay is extremely expensive for the club’s coffers.

The Roma president was interviewed by ‘SKY Italia’ on Monday and albeit he focussed on the upcoming Champions League clash between Liverpool and Roma, he also clarified the situation of the Stadio della Roma. “Every month of delay it costs us a million dollars. We could have invested this money in something else. We could have spent €65-70 million on other things such as players acquisition,” said the Bostonian investor. “They are taking their decisions but they have to finish soon.”
